Sky Outage in Prescot, Knowsley, England

Sky offers satellite television service as well as broadband internet and home phone service. Sky also operates a pay-TV service, including the Sky Sports channel which broadcasts Premier League games, which are also availble on the Sky Go video streaming service.

Moved from @virginmedia to @SkyUK but phone number hasn’t moved. @virginmedia say it’s possible to still port it and the response from @SkyUK - we don’t know how to do that, hang up and try to speak to someone else after 3 hours on the phone 🤬🤬🤬

Still waiting for a refund from @SkyUK not great customer service at all. How hard can it be to process a refund and issue a cheque. Think it’s time to take it to the ombudsman let them look how shabby sky customer service is

So @SkyUK finally just replied to me on Messenger. Then said that as I’ve been with them for over 10 days I’ll need an engineer. Except I only had the service installed on Friday, not 10 days ago. Such poor service. So @SkyUK cancelled and over to @VodafoneUK instead now.

Interesting that @VodafoneUK say OpenReach confirms a higher minimum speed than @SkyUK are advising I will get as a minimum. On top of that, @VodafoneUK’s own guarantee is higher again too. Maybe I should’ve gone with @VodafoneUK instead. Might cancel @SkyUK not even a week in.

@SkyHelpTeam I’ve already tried calling, you have a message saying you’re very busy and that means sitting on a phone queue. Nobody actually seems to be available to help at all. Really disappointing from a company the size of @SkyUK that it’s so difficult to actually speak and get help.

Started a chat on Facebook Messenger with @SkyUK regarding my broadband issues at 9:04am. Since then I’ve been passed to 4 agents, none of which have actually spoken to me and have just passed me straight on to someone else. Supposedly it was a 20 min wait to speak to someone...

@SkyHelpTeam I’m on Facebook Messenger and three times I appear to have been passed around to another agent, three time’s being asked to provide my name and info. Then get told someone will be with me. This is really poor customer service. Come back @virginmedia, all is forgiven.

@SkyHelpTeam @SkyUK @Ofcom I only get told to speak to someone after 10 days has passed, which is starting to feel like a delaying tactic to be honest. I’ve tried calling and you’re very busy with calls, I haven’t got time to sit in a hold queue. My service isn’t even a week old, I should need to call.

@SkyHelpTeam @SkyUK I’ve tried a PM, I’ve been told to wait 10 days. Given my speed hasn’t changed since the service was installed 3 days ago I don’t anticipate it changing over the next 7 days. You’re failing to meet the guaranteed minimum speed so let’s see if you can meet it in a week’s time.

Shock 12.41,no sign of @OpenreachHelp engineers to fix my @SkyUK broadband even tho sky once again for the 4th time this wke assured me they be out this morning, shock day 7 no internet no engineer another palm off awful service on both parts yet again leaving me with no internet

Been advised for the third time this week by @SkyUK that @WeAreOpenreach engineers will be out this morning to fix my broadband be very interesting to see if they actually turn up Cos only been over week of no internet & false appointments slots.Have sky palmed me of we shal see

Another 25 minute on the phone to @SkyUK in 3 days over an engineer they promised would be out yesterday wonder if I’ll get any compensation back for the loss of services plus all the money it’s cost me ringing helplines no probably not Cos it’s not sky’s problem it @openreach

@WeAreOpenreach @OpenreachHelp according to @SkyUK its ur doing the fact they’ve booked out my engineer through your company and am still waiting 6 days on no internet no engineer, care to explain who’s fault is this because it’s absolutely shocking service on both ur parts

@OpenreachHelp care to explain why am still waiting for an open reach engineer 6 days on through @SkyUK internet according to them it’s open reach faukt and it’s out of their hands yet here I am 6 days later still no engineer still no internet shocking service on both parts

@SkyUK awful company awful service 6 days now no internet apparent engineer coming out yet still sign of any engineer, ring up to be told outreach is the company. Dealing with fixing it and it’s out ur hands 6 days now it’s a joke awful joke quick enough to take the money tho.

Can't help thinking there's 4 Premier League clubs who could have helped their neighbours @buryfcofficial and @OfficialBWFC.
Shame too on the @EFL @premierleague and the scum that is @JimWhite and @SkySports and their abhorrent countdown clock. #nerofiddledwhenromeburnt

So that’s @virginmedia cancelled off and their poor effort at a service. I had more reliable service with dial-up! Now signed up with @SkyUK and hoping they can at least provide me internet that I can use for a day without it going off constantly.

@SkyHelpTeam Hi, my grandparents are trying to add BT sport to their package, but they are struggling & BT haven’t been much help. Is there a phone number to call as they are in their 80s & don’t use internet. Thanks

@SkyHelpTeam internet playing up again day 10. Many attempts to call through but after 30 mins of waiting i cant be bothered. Funny when i wanna add service its like fatest finger 1st. BB on and off like a light switch. Think time for a change. Done all the scipted test #boring

@SkyHelpTeam Still can't sign in to Sky. Tried ringing but "we are very busy but will answer your call within half an hour". Oh, the MySky app still works so I can see how much money they are taking from my account!

@SkyHelpTeam Can't access my wife's Sky account. Her user name, password, and security questions are all rejected so can't change her password. I sent her an email but have had no notification that it has arrived. Seems to be many, many people with similar problems.

@SkyHelpTeam shocking service. Iwithout any tv for over 30hrs. Technical fault & and no signal.I pay premium rates for this - the Weather is fine golf & cricket being played today most disappointed having left @virginmedia a few years ago and i need to go back to them now

@SkyUK cant actually believes how bad your internet is. No other device connected to the internet other then the TV and still its buffering trying to watch @thekillers from last night ruining my @GlastoFest experience

Really frustrated with @virginmedia customer service - or lack of customer service can’t give us the correct information, 4 calls and been put on hold for 13 minutes with out being told why - @SkyUK are you any better might give you a call

@SkyUK sort it out I have been waiting for an engineer since 21st August. I am now being told that I have to wait till 12th October. Customer service lady telling me I wont get loss of service taken off my bill until you fix my TV! Erm don't think so.

@gageykev @SkySports Birtles seems to have a bit of a problem with us he was trying to.convince his fellow commentator that mcgoldrick deliberately elbowed someone first half and there was nothing in it
It's not even been mentioned elsewhere
He had made his mind up before he even saw the replay

@SkyUK @SkyHelpTeam problem with sky box reported August and engineer booked for Sept between 12.00 and 17.00. Engineer texts at 17.43 to rearrange stating if I miss appointment or call to cancel or reschedule on the day I will be charged £25!!! Excuse me!!!! 👎customer service
